how do you avoid smoke?

Until recently, I had upstairs neighbors who smoked. I put out a bunch of baking soda boxes to help soak up the smell. It wasn't a perfect solution but it helped.

I can understand your situation, too. I was living with parents and siblings who smoked...very frustrating on top of the added health risks.

I had one time where we all were sitting in the living room watching tv, and my dad would light-up, and when he smoked his, my one brother would then light-up, and when he was done, number two brother would light-up! When I saw my dad light up another one, I exclaimed "Why don't you all just smoke at the same time!" then I left the room...

Many years later, my dad had apologized repeatedly about all the times he had exposed me to his cigarette smoke...maybe something can be done where your parents can apologize much sooner?

Only one effective method I can think of is to demand they don't smoke around you...I suppose you can't help it with them smoking. Though if you showed them enough scary pictures of what smoking does to the lungs, maybe that would change their tune..and show them how much money they'd save if they quit smoking.

Sorry if that doesn't help, but hope you can find a solution.

I am so sorry that you are in this situation. It reminds me of when I was a senior in high school and got engaged to a guy who smoked. Luckily, I broke it off with him my first year of college. But looking back I think, was I crazy? It's so easy to take for granted your good health when you have it. What really amazes me is that there are CFers who smoke. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> I hope you are able to get out of this situation soon or that your parents realize what they are doing to your lungs.

Great article, Saveferris!

I would be up front with your parents. They must know what CF is and how it affects the lungs.

I know it is hard for people to stop smoking but anyone can do it.

To me it seems that they don't understand that any type of smoke is harmful, we already have to deal with air pollution.
